Christian Street Preachers Found Guilty For Proclaiming Jesus Only Way To God

Street preachers Michael Overd (UK), Michael Stockwell (US), were both arrested for publicly preaching the Bible on the streets of Bristol in July of 2016.

Unable to charge them directly with religious offenses in court, the docket lists their offense as “violating the Crime and Disorder Act” a law which bans speech or behavior that results in “intentional harassment, alarm or distress” that is “racially or religiously aggravated.”

The guilty verdict was handed down on February 28th of this year and the fine set at just under the equivalent of $2,500 for each man.
